Ep 7. Eight Misbehavin

In season 11's seventh episode of The Simpsons, titled "Eight Misbehavin," we see Marge and Homer considering having another child after meeting an adorable baby named Ralph Wiggum. However, when they visit Dr. Hibbert, they find out that Marge is unable to conceive due to a medical condition.

Meanwhile, Apu and his wife Manjula find themselves overwhelmed with their eight newborn babies, often feeling like they don't have enough hands or time to properly take care of them all. When Marge expresses her desire to have another child, Apu offers to be their surrogate and carry their child for them.

Throughout the episode, we see Apu struggling to balance the demands of his job at the Kwik-E-Mart and the needs of his own eight babies, all while carrying Homer and Marge's future child. The couple tries to support Apu as much as they can by bringing over meals and helping out with his babies, but they quickly realize just how difficult it is to care for multiple infants.

As the episode progresses, we see Apu questioning his decision to be a surrogate and worrying about the impact it may have on his own family. In an emotional scene, he sings a song about his love for his wife and children, expressing that even though he has eight babies already, he would never regret having more because of the love they bring to his life.

In the end, Apu successfully gives birth to Homer and Marge's child, a baby boy named Pria. The Simpsons family and Apu's family gather together for a celebratory dinner and reflect on the challenges and joys of parenthood. We also see a touching moment between Apu's eight children and Pria, as they welcome their new baby brother into the family.

Overall, "Eight Misbehavin" explores themes of family, love, and the challenges of raising multiple children. The episode touches on the idea that every family is different and that there isn't a "right" way to have a family. It also showcases the importance of support and community when it comes to raising children, as both the Simpsons and Apu's families come together to help each other out.
